RUTH.

She stood breast-high amid the corn,
Clasped by the golden light Of morn,
Like the sweetheart Of the sun,
Who many glowing kiss had won.
On her cheek an autumn flush
Deeply ripened-such blush
In the midst of brown was born
Like red peoples grown with corn.
Round her eyes her tresses fell,
Which were blacklist none conld tell,
But long lashes yelled light
That had else been all too blight.
And her hat, with shady brim,
Made her tressy forehead DIM
Thus she stood amid the stocks,
Praising God with sweetest looks.
Sure, / said, Heav'n did not mean
Where | reap thou should'st but CLEAN
Lay thy sheaf adown and come.
Share my harvest and my home.

He handed her S25 and she hand

she interrupted. Such is my desire.

He waived his hand and changed
the topic. They sat and talked for
an hour, mutually pleased with each

of being an attentive listener, while
her replies pleased him because so
piquant and sensible.

The poem was written and accept
ed, and realized the same amount as
the other. She next handed him a
prose article. He read it, then shook
his head.
1T is not fortunately written he
said, with smile, knowing that she
would understand him. "You can
succeed in prose, l am sure. Select
something that is fresh and emotion
al. One day you told me pleasant
little episode of your quiet life. Why
not dress that up and call it Home
sick Nora ?''
She looked at him in surprise.
1T is too simple an incident, she
decided.
TRY it, Miss Vanleer,' advised he.
The article was written and good
price paid for it. Miss Vanleer was
very much elated she began to form
some very ambitious plans.
Charley Delisle frequently sought
her society, and when they separated
at the end of the season she awoke
to the consciousness that she had
lost her heart to him.
She spent the winter at home,
nursing her invalid mother. Char
ley Delisle did not write to her; she
was not sure that he was in posses
sion of her address possibly he had
already forgotten her existence she
however, occasionally saw his name
among the items of Literary Men
tion.''
'Mattie,' her mother said to her,
one day, don't you think it strange
that none of your poems have been
published p
Matte looked up, an odd fiutter
about her red lips.
Yes, MOTHER she replied I've
wondered and wondered, I'll write
to the publisher of The Argosy.
She did so at once. Back came a
courteous letter in reply, which said
that the publisher had never heard
before of her or her poems.
To that she responded with let
ter of particulars, referring to the
checks made in payment and Mr..
Delisle's cleverness in the matter.
The reply was more explicit than
the previous one. The publisher of
the Argosy had never RENTED her
any money-he did not enjoy the
honor Of Mr.. Delisle's acquaintance,
etc.
Matte was at first nonplussed and
then indignant

A week thereafter Charley Delisle

did not attempt, by appreciative
words, to soften the force of it.

deception which you practiced upon

'Deception!' he repeated, with a
dazed look and tone: "There is
some mistake. Perhaps, if you
would be so kind as to explain
Mr.. Delisle. you know she inter
rupted. Please don't keep up by
pocrisy.'
The expressive red lips were curl
ed in scorn.
Mr.. Delisle rose, passed his hand
over his hair, and fixedly regarded
her, a hurt, mystified look upon his
handsome face.
Matte, / love you dearly and I've

and they at once responded.
Yes; they had published both

Mattie's Mistake.
BY FRANK II. sTAUFFER.

1t was charming mountain resort
where the frivolities of fashion were
ignored, and where genuine personal
comfort was appreciated.
The gentlemen were mainly men OF
letters, and the favorite among the
ladies was Charlie Delisle, a success
full journalist and a poet of some dis
tinction. He was handsome in per-
son, suave in manners, faultless in
attire, and, while tenacious about his
own rights, was careful not to invade
the rights of others.
As he was one evening sauntering
along one of the shady paths, he
heard some one calling him by name.
He turned and beheld at bend in
the path beautiful girl of eighteen
summers, who was very self-possess-
ed at other times, but who just then
seemed rather fiurried.
She was neatly dress, her gypsy
hat in her hand, the faint sunlight
falling upon her finely poised head.
She was robust in frame, and yet
there was o. certain degree of dainti-
ness about her. Here eyes were dark
and thoughtful, but not languid her
chin was dimpled, and her mouth
especially handsome and very sus-
ceptible in the betrayal of emotions.
Mr.. Delisle,' she said, the dark
eyes partially unveiled, her voice
clear, not entirely devoid of agita-
ton, i have been emboldened to ask
your advice; that is
Il shall be very happy to oblige
Miss Vanleer,' he replied, flinging
away his cigar and slightly lifting
his hat.
She was pleased to know that he
remembered her, though their intro
duction had been accidental in it's
character.
Il would like to have your opinion
of poem which / have written she
said, her eyes prettily dropped.
She held out a folded paper and
he took 1t.
Sometime, when you have the. leis-
ure@'
i can give you my opinion of it's
merits now," he politely interrupted ,
already scanning the lines. Miss
Vanleer, did you write this? 2 asked
he, without looking up.
Yes, she stammered, not know
ing whether TO be pleased or offend
ed.
Il would like to place it for you,
he said.
She looked at him, not sure that
she had caught his meaning.
Il wish to offer it to a magazine, if
you do not object, he added.
'Oh, thank you,' she exclaimed.
Il expect to be able to announce
the nature of its reception within a
week. he remarked, bowling and pass
ing on.
Matte Vanleer stood alone in the
path. She glanced after him, her
heart in fiutter, her dimples dane
ing.
HE most have thought favorably
of the poem was her mental COM
ment.
A week later he found he seated
upon the rocks. He studied her ex-
pressive face and graceful attitude
for ten minutes before he approach
ed her.
This is yours, believe he said
tossing something into her lap.
My poem has been Declined she
said, falling infection in her voice
NO. he replied, leisurely, seating
himself beside her.
She unfolded the bit of paper and
saw that it was a check for $25. HeI
heart beat so loudly that she almost
fancied that she heard it.
IF you prefer it'll cash the check
for yoa,' he said,

her head to the soles OF her feet was mass OF decay

GALVESTON, Tex, June 6.-The mu.
nicipal elections to-day for Mayor and q
Board of Aldermen were the most
ex itlng and interesting in our his-
tory. The chief interest centered ia the
contest for the Msyorslty, with four
popular candidates in the field represent
ing as many elements Of political
strength. Captain Roger L. Fulton, the
present incumbent, stood as the iudepen-
dent candidate for reelection against j.
H. Hawley, Democratic nominee,
w. X. Nc Alpine, independent Demo-
crat, and A. 6. Malloy, independent
Republican. General Malloy was an Of
| fcer in the Union army and for several
years under, Republican Presidents, head
officer and collector OF customs of the
Galveston district. Although the election
progressed in the midst of good deal of
excitement but one disturbance occurred,
which resulted IN deputy sheriff shoot
ing colored man named Arthur Shop
perd through the breast and arm, infict
ing 8 dangerous wound. The shoot
ing occurred in the midst Of
scuffle, and reports are conflicting as to
now the trouble originated.
At this hour, Y 40 a. m, from the lat
est returns received FultOn's majority
for Mayor over all comp: titors is SIS.
The count is proceeding slowly on &C
count of the large number of scratched
tickets p0lled The election of Hughes from
the Seventh and Quincy from the Twelfth
wards, aldermaniC candidates on the
citizens ticket, is greatly in doubt, and
it will require an official count to deter

Both orators were frequently interrupted
